The city’s parks department along with the Rotary Club of South Portland-Cape Elizabeth organized this year’s event.

Saturday's entertainment included an ice-carving demonstration.

Winterfest is a chance for neighbors to get out and enjoy the season and mingle with local businesses, organizers said.

“It’s just been a great way to bring people in the communities together for this event,” Lisa Thompson from the parks department said. “It's been a great way for the business in South Portland to reach out to the community and form more friendships and good business relationships."

Ironically, it was because of last weekend’s snowstorm that Winterfest was pushed to this weekend.
